History

The Kansai Railway was nationalized on October 1, 1907, becoming part of the Imperial Government Railways (IGR), which became Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued from October 1, 1962. With the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of JR-West.
